Landscape by Sprout Social: Streamlined Image Resizing for Social Media

Landscape by Sprout Social- Streamlined Image Resizing for Social Media

74% of marketers include visuals on social media. On Twitter, posts with images get 150% more retweets! With the emphasis on visuals in social media, creating visual content is a priority.

There is an ideal image size for each social media platform. For the top platforms, the ideal image sizes for profile photos are:

  • Facebook - 180 x 180
  • Twitter - 400 x 400
  • Instagram - 110 x 110

Why would the dimensions of a profile photo be important? Profile photos are typically the first glimpse a visitor has into your brand. On most platforms, the profile picture is shown with your comments, and posts. Such high visibility means that your image needs to be high quality, well-positioned, and cropped properly.

When creating visual content, editing photos to meet these ideal images sizes can be difficult when you're marketing across several platforms with varying image standards. Cropping and editing images can be time-consuming and take the valuable time marketers could use to interact with their audience.

Sprout Social's Landscape is a great tool for cropping and resizing photos for social media.
